I take it at night and I sleep without waking up once. When I was taking it in the morning and not at night, was waking up at 4 am every day. For me personally, B12 at night helps with circadian rhythm.

What time exactly do you all take it and when do you go to bed perhaps commenting on how soundly you sleep? Ta

I take B12 after dinner which would be around 7 pm....And go to sleep between 10:30-11 pm

I also take melatonin before bed (9 mg) BUT what makes the difference is that even with the melatonin and no B12, I will wake up at 4 am feeling wide awake. Taking B12 with dinner helps me sleep through till 7:30 am. which is the time I like to get up.

I have been experimenting taking it in the afternoon and about two hours before I go to bed. For some reason I don't do well taking B-12 without the other B vitamins. I was concerned about the B-2 energizing me too much before bedtime so that was the reason I tried taking the whole spectrum in the afternoon. However, it seems that taking them at least two hours before bedtime works all right for me, and I'm thankful to finally come up with a method of taking B-12 that doesn't create worse problems for me than I already had!
